Limestone/Calcium Carbonate is rare because of the sulfuric acid turning it into CO2.

It is a pollutant to humans. Go into an enclosed and sealed up place and increase the amount of C02. It would make this thread a lot better.
It forms brown clouds over cities along with the other pollutants to help trap the heat/thermal IR and cause health problems.

Gravity is what keeps the atmosphere attracted to the surface. It is why the 'air' is thinner on top of a mountain.
I don't want to have to live on top of a mountain because we have polluted the air at ground level too much.

And you don't know what you are talking about.

It would be less if the concentration of C02 gas was still trapped in the rocks on Venus or trapped in the oil on Earth.
Venus doesn't have water or cities built right next to the sea either. Mars is far out there and CO2 solidifies into dry ice.

Here is a rebuke.

You don't just get to make facts. You have to actually test them and prove them.
The one that I'm wondering about is that they think we are measuring cloud temperatures from satellites. We can measure cloud temps, but we can also 'see' right through them to measure ground temps.

So what? Antarctica might be a tropical paradise at 7,000ppm, it doesn't mean that we should get there.

We also don't live in 1650-1700

Plants might rule the Earth again, but I'm more concerned about the drought in the Midwest US and if warming oceans are having an effect on the jet stream.
And here is an simple experiment that was done to match your tree one.

Why does the same box get hotter if CO2 or methane are added?
